Japanese launch Vitas hit with freezing, touch screen issues

Over in Japan, PlayStation Vita is facing a rocky launch due to several users running into unresponsive touch screens and freezing problems. One Vita owner recorded their instance of a system freeze, which shows the console could not be forced to shut down.

Sony was quick to offer an apology and released a firmware update to resolve the issues. Hopefully these problems won't pop up with Vita's worldwide launch this February.
